Abstract
We address G7 banking contagion during the COVID-19 crisis using wavelet-based techniques. We find an increase (20%) of the lowest frequencies banking contagion during the pandemic period based on stronger coherence between all pairs of financial indices. We also find that COVID-19 world cases and deaths are relevant to understand banking cycles co-movements, mainly from February to June. Our findings are confirmed by a correlation contagion test and still hold after controlling for oil prices.
